So Amber in the Shortpacked universe has an abusive Dad and consequently becomes Amazi-Girl who’s only real strength is immunity to criticism meanwhile Dumbing of Age Amber’s Dad just walked out and that coupled with her boyfriend coming out of the closet was enough to make her a far more effective Amazi-Girl? Now I’m worried that Faz when he finally appears will be some criminal mastermind.
Just because this is all she’s telling her right now doesn’t mean that’s all there is to it. And while the Batman/Spiderman archetype exists for a reason, it’s silly to assume that people who are well-adjusted can’t be heroic.
Well, part of it is probably that without her dad, she not only had the confidence, but also the ability to join track and field. Giving her a place to work out, which walkyverses amazigirl did have.
I haven’t seen that much name dropping since the time I hosted the Emmys!
[insert cutaway gag who’s punchline is either racist, sexist, or just mean spirited]
Wait… Saurornithoides Mongoliensis??? Could this mean that Amiza-girl is part Saurornithoides Mongoliensis and part hero? ‘Cause that would explain her invulinerability to criticism.
Who doesn’t want to date the guy with mad Fiddle skills? And I don’t care what anyone says, Goat hooves are SEXY.

I tried to link to an old Walky and Joyce strip (but the site wouldn’t let me) that includes the words “Warm my feet”… if you remember it, this would definitely diminish the sexy factor.
See, I’m almost the opposite. I change all the time. I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF HERACLITUS’ RIVER AND FIRE. Also I tend to change my mind about things and can be persuaded, or at least have a change of heart, rather easily when compared to most stubborn-headed people out there. Reed>Oak, because I do love me the sound of music, and that professor’s always telling me what not to do, EVEN WHEN HE’S NOT THERE.
…What I’m saying is, don’t change too much either, because then you become a nutcase and envision a very lonely life on the romantic side of things. You’ll get plenty of friends, though; everyone likes to see a monkey dance!
Oh dear, I can’t dance; I’ve got ciment shoes, a lead tongue, a dulled brain and a heart of (1 carat) gold. I AM MORE MACHINE THAN MAN. Also, I think everyone’s going to be over Gangnam Style in a while, like the Numa-numa Guy and other such viral phenomena, but I must admit that its invasion of the mainstream media might grant it a better standing in the collective mind, although it now surges with so much information and new pop-cultural elements that its fickleness might soon rival my own.
Gangnam style is just this generations version of the Macarena…That feels weird to say. I’m not sure if I’m old enough to be commenting about generations yet.
On most dinosaur metrics, the Masiakasaurus is not quite as cool as the Saurornithoides, but it gets hella bonus points for being named after one of the greatest guitarists in the world.
For me, it’s mostly the gnarly-looking lower jaw it’s sporting. Not to mention the fact that it’s one of the few dinosaurs found in Madagascar, and, yeah, the Mark Knopfler thing.
Whoa, whoa. Saurornithoides is not the same as Troodon. It is a troodontid, but we haven’t found enough evidence of Saurornithoides to suggest that it was quite as smart as its North American cousin. However, it has been said to have some of the largest eyes of any dinosaur (proportionally, that is), which is a trait that most known troodontids share.
Sorry. Massive dino nerd. Incidentally, Dina is one of my favorite characters.
Dina’s detachment from humanity and social norms will likely turn her into the saurornithoides that she loves so much. At least mentally. Maybe she will take up a mantle and become her roommate’s nemesis! I could see Dina as a super-villain, with her vast amount of knowledge, indifference to societal structures, and unimposing-yet-aloof demeanor.

Picturing that dino in Dina’s hat gave me a giggle.

Someone needs to draw some fan art, or maybe photoshop a hat onto a picture.

I now picture Jesse Ventura offering Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers a bowl of cereal while wearing Dina’s hat.

Personally, I’d want to be Masiakiasaurus knopfleri, but that’s just me.

On most dinosaur metrics, the Masiakasaurus is not quite as cool as the Saurornithoides, but it gets hella bonus points for being named after one of the greatest guitarists in the world.

That would be the hero name I’d pick for her if she became Amazigirl’s sidekick.
Dierna
Dina wants to be a Troodon?? Well I suppose that makes sense. They’re considered to be UBER smart dinos as they had bigger brains than other species..
David
The smartness is why I picked it. Or, well, what I figured Dina would pick.
Furie
Has she not seen the awesomeness that is Stegasaurus? Hell, what does she think of Dinobots? Enquiring geeks wish to know.
otusasio451
Whoa, whoa. Saurornithoides is not the same as Troodon. It is a troodontid, but we haven’t found enough evidence of Saurornithoides to suggest that it was quite as smart as its North American cousin.
